ENA internal identifiers

ENA uses a series of codes to identify the types of objects it manages. These internal codes are useful when troubleshooting issues.

This article details the two types of codes and how they are used in a third, eosObjectID, to uniquely identify a managed object.

ENA object types:

ENA identifies different managed object types by assigning each their own unique identifier. This number is only used within ENA.

ENA device types:

ENA identifies different device types by assigning each their own unique identifier. This number is only used within ENA. For example, the discovery ping technology used by ENA for its maps can be configured through entuity.cfg to exclude certain device types - these device types are specified through their device identifiers.

eosObjectID:

eosObjectID is an internal ENA identifier that uniquely identifies ENA managed objects. eosObjectID is a bit mask with the format:
